"Exactly, maybe you'll be even better than all of the other apprentices. You'll bring down foxes and badgers, you'll send the enemy warriors running in fear, Shadowclan will honor you for moons upon moons. And you are very right, Shadowclan is the best clan," she purred, her body vibrating softly while she let the kit doze off in her embrace. It was moments like these that she enjoyed being a forever queen. It was why she made that decision to ask Icestar to become one. It wasn't a matter of being lazy, it was a matter of raising and taking care of Shadowclan's young. Providing them with a good motherly figure so they could grow up with stars in their eyes. Even if it meant filling their heads with soft lies, they would grow up looking for a bright future and hopefully achieve it. Closing her eyes, the queen found herself dozing off as well. It seems with a belly full of food and good company, one could get sleepy.

(No problem!)

“Really!?! You really think so!” Gleamkit happily looked at Smokewing, though sleepily. He was glad someone did. He was tired of everyone telling him he would just have to help around ShadowClan. As much as he loved ShadowClan, he just wanted to fight! He would somehow figure out a way to make his leg strong and helpful. Then everyone would see!
But for now, he dozed off next to Smokewing.

Blackkit laughed a bit through the scruff, "Ya, I know, but your kinda adorable when you're angry." The said just as he set her down in the grass. He laid down and lazily watched the birds and clouds as they passed through the sky.

Falconkit let a low growl out as he set her down in the grass. But then she decided she was too tired to play and laid down next to him.
“I am not cute when I am angry! I am vicious!” She grumbled at him as he watched the clouds and birds.

Blackkit laughed and looked over at her, staring for a moment before nodding, "Nope, definitely cute." He said as he kept smiling at her. After a moment he looked back up at the sky in simple happiness.

"How... dare...you..." Falconkit felt the day catch up to her as she laid next to Blackkit. Soon she felt herself dozing off.

Blackkit looked at the dozing kit and smiled. It's getting dark, her mom will have a fit if I don't have her in. he thought before carefully picking her up and taking her to the den.
@DarkNight hold up I'll post really quick in the nursery.

[Exis]

Blackkit Padded slowly into the nursery and to the back of the den, carrying his best friend. Is that really what I'm feeling? He thought before pushing the thought away as he laid her down in his nest, it was more comfortable anyway. He curled up beside her and swiftly dozed off.

"If you were a nobody then why are you here, exactly? If Icestsr didn't want you here, no doubt she wouldn't have you here," He commented, stretching out his legs to loosen the tiredness that crept through his thin bones.

His black head tilted to the side, turning to face her as he listened closely. "You look like you haven't slept in a moon, I wouldn't doubt a sleep deprived cat the right to be a tad bit grumpy." He commented, noticing the way she held herself and the sadness to her eyes. "Again, I can offer a listening ear, before the rest of the clan woke up?" Blackadder didn't enjoy repeating himself but if it was some form of gossip or information, maybe he wouldn't mind a little bit of prying.

Hailstorm was quite a reserved cat. In fact, she rarely talked to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Nobody had ever really given her more than a glance, assuming she would be just as hostile as her mother and sister. It wasn't often that someone actually offered to lend an ear. Although hesitant, she conceded. She supposed she could chat for a moment, before the dawn patrol warriors got up.

"Truth be told, I haven't slept much. Shocking, I know." The last bit was said with a hint of self-aware sarcasm. She did look a bit disheveled. "It's just...Difficult to sleep in a den full of clanmates yet still feel so alone."

"At least say bye, " Sheeplight huffed-- pushing herself off the ground. She examined him for a moment and just before Frostpaw stepped out of range, "Oi, Oi. What's your name?" She piped up, a small somewhat forced smile on her face.
The tom looked familiar but not exactly.

The white tom stiffened a bit at the she-cat's huff. Most cats tended not to like him, but so far, the warrior hadn't spat out an insult. It was probably because she didn't recognize him, he noted bluntly. After he stuck around for a while, the "shadow cats" as Lion had liked to call them, would probably start to ignore him.

"My name is Frostpaw," the apprentice stated monotonously. "From ThunderClan," he added in case the she-cat thought that she knew him. There - unless she saw him at a Gathering or something, they'd never met until now.

Honestly, that would be the last time the tom would be mentioning ThunderClan. He made sure that nobody else heard him say it other than the she-cat. Hopefully she wasn't too big on gossiping. He didn't need to raise suspicion right now. Besides, the thought of his previous affiliation left a sour taste in his mouth.

Oh good her apprentice was awake! "Good morning Nightpaw." Taking note of her nervousness, aww am I scaring her? Wait how could she possibly make the apprentice be afraid of? A pang of hurt flashed in the molly's heart, she didn't want to be known as the terrifying mentor. Frown tugging at her lips Stormlily pushed the terrible thoughts and focused on the questions that Nightpaw asked. "Yes Citrusflower has been so kind to watch my kits."It was quite surprising that the queen was very pleasing to be around but her sister on the other paw was well...was like getting her claws ripped out. "We will be hunting today!" Beaming a smile at the apprentice the warrior turned her body towards the exit ready to pad out of camp.

"Battle training. Battle training is what we are doing today."She slowly and clearly said not to make Oakpaw feel stupid but rather to help him remember. Lately, she's noticed how he repeats things over and over in order to keep his tasks in mind and Creekwind figured that if she does the same around him it would help. Hopefully,the tom will not take it the wrong way and will be willing to adapt to new things. She was very experienced in learning new ways and adapting.
